MAYFIELD NAILS FAVRE DRAFT PIC

Baker Mayfield's mother reportedly purchased wallpaper to match the wood paneling of Brett Favre's childhood bedroom, and since they already had the jorts, all they needed was to decorate the space with pictures of Mayfield's days in youth sports

Hours ahead of Thursday night's NFL Draft, where he was picked first overall by the Cleveland Browns, Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield took the time to precisely emulate his hero Brett Favre, right down to the trademark jorts.

Mayfield recreated the famous photo of Favre from 1991, when he learned he had been drafted out of Southern Mississippi by the Atlanta Falcons. Favre, who would go on to win a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers before being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016, was seen laying down in his crowded bedroom with a cordless phone, a pair of jean shorts, and a wide grin – all of which Mayfield captured in his version on Wednesday night.

A native Texan, Mayfield has been likened to Favre for both his boisterous personality, southern roots (he's from Texas), and reckless playing style

'There are those people who are in your corner no matter what, you can't do any wrong, even when you do wrong,' Mayfield wrote in his Twitter post, quoting Favre. 'And then there are those people that no matter what you do they're going to dislike you and that's not going to change.'

The Favre photo was originally taken by a local newspaper, but later spread to national magazines and television after Favre broke out as a member of the Packers.

According to ESPN, Mayfield's mother purchased wallpaper to match the wood paneling of Favre's childhood bedroom, and since Mayfield already had the jorts, all they needed was to decorate the space with pictures of the quarterback's days in youth sports.
